if u have a radio, switch it on, go to FM 100.1 and listen to the BBC world service, it will either be news or a program, listen to the news/program and write them down, then go to their website and compare ur notes to the real ones, the more close, the better  ;)

there is another way you guyz can practice your listening if you know any native english speaker then you can ask him to read the script that comes with the past papers and solve the excercise :)
Well i dont know anyone so this will not work for me :(
astar why dont you record the script  ;D
